Join us for a half day session delivered by Chantel Yeates on "leading a more reflective culture- theory, strategies and impact".

Having gained years of knowledge and experience as a leader in two different schools for over fifteen years, Chantel Yeates will be talking about her successes, and learning moments, around leading a relational restorative school and creating a culture of reflective practice. She will be sharing the sustainable model of reflective supervision and practice that has been implemented as part of her Whole School Approach to wellbeing, and which is having a positive impact for all.  This interactive session will provide an insight into how a more reflective culture can be established in school settings.

9.30 – 12.15pm Part One

Led by GHLL primary teachers, this morning session will dive into the new DfE RSHE Statutory Guidance 2025 for Primary Schools. Delegates will explore the changes made to the previous document and look at how to ensure their R(S)HE curriculum meets the DfE requirements, whilst also tailoring it to their setting and the needs of their pupils. Whether a commercial package is used to deliver the R(S)HE curriculum or freely available resources are used, this session will help to support schools in providing a spiral, responsive, progressive curriculum, bespoke to their setting.

This training session will cover:
· New statutory requirements for R(S)HE (to be implemented by Sept 2026) including policies and curriculum content
· Guidance for auditing and reviewing provision in school
· Suggestions for parent and pupil consultation
· Understanding of the principles of good R(S)HE teaching
· Suggestions for dealing with awkward questions, setting ground rules and managing parental concerns
· Signposting to quality-marked free resources to support the curriculum

1pm – 3.30pm Part Two

During this afternoon workshop session, we will dive into the various GHLL primary resources, all of which have been developed by practising teachers to support pupils in their physical and emotional development. The GHLL Lead Teachers can advise on how to build the resources into your school’s current PSHE curriculum, and share ways in which they have been implemented in other schools and the outcomes they have provided.

During the session you will have the opportunity to discuss methods to measure the impact of your PSHE teaching, and ways in which the children’s learning and understanding can be recorded and assessed.

Some of the resources explored in this session will include:

• Counting Sleep
• Make Me a Superhero
• Peer Mediation
• Understanding Dementia
• Keeping Myself Safe
• Focused for Learning

The last part of the session allows time for delegates to view other resources freely available to schools and the chance to share ways in which they can be mapped into a school’s provision.
